The operation covered Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc regions, focusing on ensuring the well-being of clients and their families.
 
The objectives of the operation included assessing the living conditions of active probationers and their families; identifying any needs they may have; providing information on available probation and community resources; and ensuring compliance with probation terms to deter future criminal activity.

To support community wellness, summer-themed bags containing items for the families were distributed.

The operation included 37 locations visited and 21 contacts made with clients and family members. A total of 11 probation officers participated. There were no arrests made during the operation.
